An interesting shift seems to be happening since the arlc took over the game with the use of rugby league to describe the sport being gradually phased out and replaced by NRL. Australian Rules football did similar and now kids say they play AFL rather than Aussie rules. Will kids in the future consider themselves playing NRL rather than rugby league? For AFL it doesn't matter as they have little by way if international presence but for rugby league what would this shift mean internationally? We have allowed union to claim "Rugby" (sic), are we heading down a road that will see us stop using rugby league all together and become the code of NRL?
The branding of the touch football link up is the latest and most obvious example of this.
Given the rebranded logos include "rugby league" on them are we creating a confusing situation between NRL and RL?
Good or bad thing?
